IisJpoNel of' in 1)11torenlt Ways by
Several Counties-The New laaw
LCssons the School F0uit1.
It it pretty generally known says the
State that the " profit feature," of the
Jispensary law has been modtifed and
the, prolits accruing to the State dis
1,ensary have been cut lown to 10 per
cent. The net prolits feom the State
dispensary, aggregating about $19.1,
00 a year, wero devoted to the com
mnon schools of the State, and this re
venue, wil by the now law be material
ly lessened.
Thcro were two counties in the State
which apl)preciatetl the probable elfect
of this change, anI they had the "1 sup
ply ill," or the measure which fixes
the levy for assessment in the several
counties, so amended that in sucir
counties net prolitrs from the local dis
pensarles are to be divided between
the ct mmon schools and the fund for
ortlinary county expensts. These
countiCs aie Iaur enis and Colleton.
The provision for the latter county is
that tbe apportion ment among he
schools sliall be imle ui pon the atten
(lance for the scholastic year enling
.1unt .'94h, 1900.
In tle. saile hill it is provided that I
in Chesterield County the prolits a"c

I thought that the --chool system wat

wedded to the ways of our father5, but
We had to fall Into linie and be recon
oiled to what we could not help. Tle
world was against is ; l'russia, lrance,
Germany and New ingiland, w here all
the developmen' conies froI. Still
so1o of us felt that, it Was hard and
LIjUti, to be taxed for tte educationi of
Ather people's ChiiIrenll when we had
itlready paid for out' own irudelr the old
plan. In tihe old country the young
Men have to pay It back in mil itary

But every now and then ,omuehody
raises a ruimpus, and itbises the whole

Alusilo of the Iible and Iorn inig pray

NOUN-.' give tihe Bible a place if it drove

know of plarents who are net tit, to rais
their own childron, and who ought t
d in and lot their chilrenn be aent. to na
orphan asylutn. Why all this rAcket
about hiipping bad boys ?
Tho doctor throws down tho chal
longo and says the rod 'n the Scrip
tures merely means government, and
that the very moment that you dele
gate to a toacher the-right to whip a
child you fling an lusult in the face of
God. Well, it everybody who knows
Dr. Holderby dident love him they
would smile at such ridiculous asser
tions. Ue could hardly find another
Biblical scholar but who would say
that the rod in tho Scrinture means a
good old-fashioned licki'ng, and it is to
be remarked that whenever it is
used it Is in the masculine gender.
"Correct thy son and he shali give thee
rest." " Beat him with the rod and
save his soul." " lie that spareth the
rod hateth his son," etc., etc. The
girls dident need it then and they do
not now. They are all mild-eyed Jor
seys, except some.
Dr. Holderby declares that whipping
a boy injures his social standing and
takes away his self respect. Maybe
that is what's the matter with me, and
is the reason why I am so meek and
subdued. Maybe I was whipoed too
much. I had a light one Sunday with
a boy at camp meeting, and he whipped
mc and muddled my Sunday clothes
and gouged the skin otf my face. Next
morning my father wbipped me for
fighting and when I went to school the
teacher got ready to whip me, but I
showed him my legs and he let me off.
Good gracious ! what a proud, self re
specting man I would have been if it
had not been for good old John Norton
and Dr. I l'atterson. You see, I was not
a preacher's son.
l3ut, seriously, I know parents who
would rather tile teacher would pun
ish their bad boys than to tackle tnem
at home. The school Is their reforma
tory, and with smc mothers it is the
nursery. Then, again, there are par
enti who think the teacher ought to
whip other people's children but never
touch their own. There are lots of
these, especially mothers. The teach
ers have a hard time steering between
the breakers, anul I am sorry for them,
but I have never known a single case
where the bad boy got more then he
deserved.
Long experience has proved that
corporal punishment is best for bad
men as well as for bad boys. Crime
has rapidly iiecreased all over the land
under the new regime. The average
of boys are much worse than they were -
fifty years ago. They grow up to till
our prisons anti chaingadigs, and fiil the
daily papers with murders and suicides
and crimes of every description. The
Atlanta cry is now for a reformatory.
Maryland has never abolished the
whipping post and not a burglary or
hank robbery is committed there for
the punishment is the lash once a week
for succcssive weeks as the stripes are
healed. They cant stand that. Before
the civil war the lash was the only
punishment for tne negroee, and there
was not a heinous crime committed by
them from ti'e Potomac to the I t*o
Grvande. But nowv there are 21,000 in
the cha ngangs of tile Siuthern States.
Whipping hurts, I tell you it does,
and i-, long remembered. ir. Jim Al
